Christmas tree made of threads
New Year - This is one of the main holidays of the year. And preparation for this day begins a month in advance, or even earlier. In kindergartens and schools they prepare for children crafts, DIY New Year's toys and garlands.
I want to tell you how to make your own Christmas tree from threads, which you can make with your children. Manufacturing takes a small amount of time, but the result is pleasing to the eye. This craft can be taken to school or kindergarten, or placed in the kitchen or room to feel the New Year approaching.
For production we will need:
1. Sheet of cardboard
2. Skein of green thread
3. PVA glue
4. Beads
5. Scotch tape
6. Scissors
A sheet of cardboard can be taken in any size. It could even be Whatman paper. Then the tree will turn out tall. I didn't have any cardboard, so I took a regular cookie package. You can also use a regular cardboard notebook cover as an option.
The cardboard needs to be covered with tape so that the finished Christmas tree can be easily peeled off. It is better to paste over the sheet in an unfolded form, it is easier.
A sheet of cardboard is covered with tape.
Roll it into a bag to make a cone.
The cone turned out to have an uneven bottom, so we fold it and cut off the excess.
The bottom will need to be cut with scissors, so to speak, to make teeth for the thread to cling to.
We dilute PVA glue with water in a small bowl. So, it will be liquid, which allows you to work with it better.
Take a skein of thread. They are green because they should match the color of the tree. The craft store offers a huge selection of threads, varying in thickness and composition.
We tie a knot at the end of the thread so that it can catch on the bottom of the tree.
The moment begins when your hands are stained with glue and this is not the most pleasant thing in the manufacturing process.
We lower the thread into a bowl of glue, it should be well saturated.
You can also lubricate the cone with glue, it won’t be superfluous.
We attach the knot to the bottom and start creating.
We wrap the thread around the cone in any direction: in a circle, up and down. Don't forget to soak the thread in glue all the time.
Our cone is wrapped, there are few gaps left, so this is where the work stops temporarily. Cut the thread and leave the glue to dry for several hours.
When the glue has dried, you need to cut off the bottom of the tree where we attached the threads.
Now carefully peel the cardboard from the threads. This is easy to do. If the threads have been well soaked in glue, they will not deform and will hold their shape tightly.
This simple Christmas tree is ready. Let's start decorating.
We take small beads. We will attach them to the Christmas tree using instant glue. You can use any other glue that has good bonding ability. In this case, PVA is no longer required.
Slowly, one bead at a time, glue them to the tree in a circle. So, our beauty dresses up and becomes a real Christmas tree with New Year's toys-balls.
The Christmas tree is ready. Happy New Year!
